lyrics

Now this story has been told times before
A reality and dream opening a door
The picture in my head, she fitted perfectly
Awakening my heart
To love and its sweet glimpse
A heavenly sound to all humanity

There's one chance
To take a hold
With both hands
Don't delay and wait for

But I decided to wait, wait another day
Wait another week, and then until the end
The end of this degree
And I could stop and face
The secret moment alone
But by this time it stopped
The motion and the flow
The feelings and the rain
The words that just remained inside of me

Wait for me to see
Wait for you to see
Wait for me to see
Wait for you to see

Eternity is, waiting for you to
Make up your mind, mind
Don't excuse me now
Eternity comes
Knocking on your door
This is the final score.

So now you've heard the sound
There's a difference in my voice
She may love me or not
But in the end it's emptiness
When there's a world to win
Convince us of our sin
That lies around our heads
The love that you could see
Look beyond the earth
Come arise from sleep
So you won't come to a bitter end
